Film viewing and editing devices like the Ohnar provided amatuer filmmakers the ability to precisely edit their own home movies with relative ease. Popular among avid consumer-level filmmakers for their size, this 16mm film equipment allows hand cranking and has a convenient frame counting dial. The reel arms can be swivelled out and locked in place for use, and folded away for compact storage.
